Manage access requests

In Data Access, an access request is automatically generated when a user adds data objects or access controls that they do not own to their access control. It is also automatically generated when a user requests access from an asset. The owner of that data object or access control must review and implement the request before it can be successfully added to their access control.

Implement an access request

By implementing an access request, you officially approve it. You can implement only the entities that you own. If a single requested entity has multiple owners, only one of them needs to implement it. The status of the access request changes to Implemented only after each requested entity in an access request is implemented by at least one of its owners.

To implement an access request:

  1. On the Data Access landing page, in the left pane, click Access requests, and then click the request that you want to implement.
  2. Click Implement.
  3. On the Implement access page, in the Grant access on section, select the requested entities that you want to approve.
  4. If the requested entity is an access control, optionally, in the Expires at field, change the expiration date. The expiration date indicates when access is revoked.
  5. Click Grant access.
    The implementation status of the entity changes to Implemented.

Close an access request

To close an access request:

  1. On the Data Access landing page, in the left pane, click Access requests, and then click the request that you want to close.
  2. Click Close request.
    The reason for closure is logged as a comment on the access request page.
